2013 RM Mock NFL Draft

[Dr. Van Nostrand]

If this is the board at 12 I'd want them to trade down. Personally, I love Tavon Austin and would love him but it would be overkill at this point to add another WR. I don't love the non-top three tackles at this pick, and the other guys I'd want (Elam, Rhodes, Eifert) I wouldn't want at 12. Even Warmack or Cooper I wouldn't want at 12. Jones would be fine, but I guess I'll go with need and take Xavier Rhodes.

Got it down. Jason, have at it for the Bucs.

well, i was hoping to grab Rhodes at 13, i think he is more of the type of player Tampa is wanting, from what i hear he is more of a man to man CB, though Desmond Trufant has kinda been the guy i was hoping for and if i remember right Schiano and Dominick seemed to talk to him a lot at the Senior bowl, but im not sure if i should Go the obvious need and possible reach or take someone like Sheldon Richardson, i dont know much about Richardson, can he play the nose? im also really intrigued by the idea of Eifert here as well, but the D is the huge weakness for the Bucs, so it seems like a bad move to not address it some way in the first round. anyone wanna give some thoughts?

Other than Ruddo, I doubt anyone else here is going to be able to match your Bucs' knowledge, so I say just go with what you feel is right. I do like Trufant as an overall player, if that helps you at all.

I wonder if Schiano would like to add Eifert to the offense and then hope for Logan Ryan (a guy he's already coached) in the next round. I think Trufant is the better corner, but TE doesn't have the depth that CB does in this draft.

Logan Ryan or a falling Jonathan banks and still get a DT in the 3rd. i just kinda have this feeling that they are putting together the offense to either help freeman succeed or his replacement to step in and excel immediately.
Ill make a pick in just a few

[elliseamos]

sounds good.

[Dr. Van Nostrand]

Im gonna make the pick thinking that the revis trade doesn't happen since it would probably include this pick, and if the don't get revis then they have to take Desmond Trufant

nice. i think that rationale works.

Panthers are on the clock.

[4/5]

I don't know much about the Panthers, but to move this along I'm going to draft a guy I love, even if Steve Smith might not be thrilled to see another small, quick WR: Tavon Austin.

Makes sense, Smith is still very good but could decline at any moment.

With the Saints moving to a 3-4 I see a big hole at nose tackle. I prefer Jesse Williams, though I'm sure Jonathan Hankins could also be argued.

...any dissent, or should I put Williams down for the Saints?

Im good with it

[elliseamos]

I like the Austin pick for Carolina, they need more around Cam.

As for the Saints, I think Williams is a great pick for them.

Rams are on the clock.

I'd guess either WR or RB, but maybe the first TE gets picked here?

[Green Habit]

Rams are on the clock.

I'd guess either WR or RB, but maybe the first TE gets picked here?

Yeah, they could use some skill upgrades. It might seem a bit early for Lacey but they do have two ones, and PIT is sitting right below them also with a need at RB. Cordarelle Patterson's my top WR if people think they should go that route.

did the Rams end up getting Jarred Cook? if so then id say no on the TE because they still have Lance Kendrick who could show up one of these days. RB or WR works for me, is Lacey supposed to be the top RB? i think WR is Deeper this year so if they want a RB then might as well take the Top one

They did sign Cook, so I'd say RB should be the pick here. I think Giovani Bernard is the top back, but Lacey might be more of a known product (if that makes sense). Maybe St. Louis negotiates a swap of picks with Pittsburgh for Lacey and then grabs Bernard with the very next pick?

[Green Habit]

Bernard is certainly a good talent as well. Do all of you want to go Bernard for STL and Lacey for PIT? That would get this thing moving.

I'm thinking Chance Warmack's a Cowboy.

Thoughts?

[Dr. Van Nostrand]

I'm thinking Chance Warmack's a Cowboy.

Thoughts?

not sure if it is real or a smokescreen of some sort, but i have heard that they are in love with S Kenny Vaccaro, so unless he could potentially fall out of the 1st then i would maybe make him a Cowboy

[Green Habit]

I'd go with Vaccaro. That would also make the Longhorn fans happy.
